All righty then, I'm interested in rolling up a character myself. Fairly well familiar with the system, so you shouldn't have to hold my hand.

Looks like the group has plenty of muscle, but is a little light on Divine Magic, so I'm thinking Oracle for that and other reasons. A few queries:
-I presume based on earlier posts and the level of current players that I'd be starting at L4. Let me know if otherwise.
-What kind of equipment budget can I begin with? The standard WBL table entry would suit me fine, just need to know.
-In regards to races, you mentioned that any featured races other than core in the setting were available, but I don't see anything mentioned in the Kingmaker PDF other than the core races. Am I missing something? I'm not yearning for anything particularly exotic, just want to know the options.
-Finally, other than racial restrictions, are there any limits on available PF material?

I think I'll actually start you out at level 6, despite what's written in the first post. I don't want you to fall into any perceived 'missing role' but would prefer you to play what you like and think sounds interesting.

I believe that half WBL would be fairer due to the party's current equipment and nature of the adventure. It would be less if you pick a powerful race, because I arbitrarily said so.

Races native to Avistan would be those without oriental flavour - but now I see this is unjustified as it's not difficult to get to Brevoy across the north pole. Common races would fit best in a settlement led by 3 humans and a half-elf. Another excellent fit will be kobolds (The party came across a Black-scaled tribe). Other possibilities include fey and to a small extent centaurs.

I want you only to be limited by imagination (However Paizo sources make it easy to adjudicate, doubly so if they're Pathfinder Society legal).

Oh I am picking what I find interesting, its just that a part of my selection process is a strong preference to offer something at least relatively unique to the group. Never played a pure divine caster before, and the Oracle curses sound like good RP fuel to me. Might go for Haunted, and constantly have a poltergeist effect going to freak people out with.

I am inclined to ask though, are you aware of any features that would let an Oracle cast from Wisdom rather than Charisma? Already playing a party face type in the 5E game, so I'm more thinking insightful counselor than inspiring preacher type for this guy. I realize I could just play a cleric for that effect, but they're just a little too high on my OP meter.

Is there room for another character in this game? I've never played Pathfinder but I've been reading along the last few weeks. This looks like a really good campaign. I'm thinking of playing a barbarian. I've never played a fighter type character before and think this could offer some fun role play opportunities. You have answered most of my questions in your response to Daishain.

Kyr, some primary differences between 3.5 and PF you'll want to be aware of when making a character aside from general rebalancing of classes and features:

-you can invest in crossclass skills just as easily as class ones (No more half ranks). Class skills instead gain a +3 bonus if you have at least one rank in them. In exchange, there is no longer a x4 bonus to skill points at first level.
-Cantrips and Orisons (Level 0 spells) are now at will, you never run out.
-favored classes no longer have an impact on multiclassing. Instead you gain 1 skill point or 1 HP (Your choice), when progressing your favored class.
-You now gain a feat every odd level
-Several skills have been streamlined, for instance move silently and hide have been combined into the stealth skill.
-Each class has optional archetype choices, which can modify how they work. For instance, a Fighter who picks the "Cad" archetype loses most of his armor proficiencies among other things, but gains a variety of dirty fighting techniques in exchange
-Actions such as tripping and grappling have been considerably simplified, and use a single pair of contested numbers. (Look up CMB and CMD for further details)
-Concentration checks are considerably tougher, which helps keep high level mages in check.

Daishin, so I take it you would like the effect of being haunted, while casting spontaneously using wisdom. While it's not divine, the Spiritualist psychic class sounds like a good fit. Another option is the Shaman, but it's a prepared caster. For a bit of religious flavour, consider the Deific Obediance feat and the prestige classes that have it as a prerequisite.

Unfortunately, this doesn't come with the curse and the only way I can see it working is if you take 1 level of Oracle. You still get the benefits at half the rate as you earn levels.

Kyrroeth, yes, I think I can manage 6 players. Like the Kingmaker Player's Guide suggests, you can be from Numeria, a land of crazy and wonderful tech, or Iobaria, a frozen and plague-riddled land. There are plenty of other options as well, depending on what kind of character you want.

Here's a rough background idea to start with. Jesla is 21. She is a human Kellid barbarian from Numeria. She left Numeria with two close friends five years before. They were disgusted with the Technic League holding sway over the Kellids there. She despises technology and magic and thinks it is dishonorable what is happening in Numeria. They left to seek adventure and to slay powerful foes. Their group went to Brevoy hoping to find some sort of mercenary work into the wilds. Jesla is the last left of the three that departed Numeria. She stands 5 ft 10 and weighs 150. She has Raven black hair and green eyes.
